Scenarios
Caleb always sits alone at lunch. Jacob and his friends pick on Caleb every day. Sometimes they take his lunch money and other days they pour chocolate milk all over his food. You could invite him to sit with you, but you are afraid your friends will not welcome him and Jacob might start picking on you too.
You see Abby in the hallway between classes. She’s new to Burris and is having trouble getting her locker open. Craig walks by and laughs at Abby and taunts her while she struggles with her locker. “Did they not teach you what numbers are at your old school? Only stupid people can’t figure out how to open their lockers,” he says to her. She tries to ignore his taunting but he knocks all of her books out of her hands right before he leaves.
Jarius gets nervous when the teacher asks him to read aloud in class. Even though he does well in small groups, he often stutters when reading for the whole class. Shannon sits in the back of the classroom and giggles whenever Jarius makes a mistake. Sometimes she even imitates how Jarius stutters when the teacher can’t hear her. Jarius usually leaves this class with his head hanging low and never volunteers to read to the class.
EVERYONE!
